Domaine Heitz-Lochardet, Pommard Rugiens 2014

The 2014 Pommard Rugiens from Heitz-Lochardet is a delightful glas of Pinot. The nose is floral and expressive (100% whole cluster) with lovely red and dark fruits and spiced with hints of cinnamon and peony rose. On the palate lovely depth and energy in the juicy almost silky mid-palate fruit … it’s vibrant, long and offering a very charming presentaition of the often slightly austere Rugiens climat. My kind of Pommard.
